Mr.. Purcell, Of the state attorney

of the anarchists.
HOW THE REDS RECEIVED THE NEWs
The turnkey who took the dispatc
to cell % and showed it through tn
bars, fingered moment to watch tn
effect it would have on Spies. TIL
Anarchist took the message, glancei
/ fiercely at the turnkey and then with
drew to the darker end of the cell. u
two minutes or so he called gently t
the old man who sits as the dealt
watch outside of the barred door, ant
asked him to hand the yellow telegraph
sheet to Parsons. From him it wen
TO all the others and at last reached
Neebe, who is only under sentence o.
imprisonment. 1t could be dimly seeI
that each of the condemned men made
ostentatiouS efforts at GOODNESS anC
bravado. They took seats at their eel
doors and read newspapers and books
smoked cigars and once Ling, the
bomb maker, whistled. Their wives
and friends had been with them for al
hour during the morning, but about
thirty minutes before the news came
they were all excluded and the pris-
onerS locked up, each alone by himself
REFUSED TO BE INTERVIEWED.
Later this afternoon the condemned
men QtInIUln IN f0Lrn nNnPaiaa -,
the jail court and speak to their friends
who were freely admitted. The prison
erS had agreed among themselves to talk
to no one for publication, and all at
tempts to interview them were re-
solutely resisted.
BLACK TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
A reporter was Captain Blacks first
infOrmer of the decision. During the
moments occupied in giving the An
archistS' senior counsel the dreadful
information his face was study. His
under-jaw dropped down, his right
hand went up to his forehead with a
lightning like jerk, and the Captain
gasped: us it possible that the seven
surprise, his manifestation of
disappointment was greater. 1.-THE
only remaining course for us to pur-
sue, said he, lis by taking the case to
the United States Supreme Court. L
shall Immediately go BEIGE the SUI
preme Court at Ottawa and ask for a
time to secure a certified
transcript of the record for the pre-
sentation to the Supreme Court at
Washington. Such proceedings are
rare, but have no doubt of the Courts
decision on that point" and Captain
Black arose and paced the floor with

AN ALL-ABSORBING TOPIC.
From the appearance of the streets
in the exterior of the jail anyone could
tell that some great event was going on.
AS the news spread citizens, coatleSS
and some bareheaded, left their places
Of business and rushed toward the Jail
to verify the report. Among the crowd,
growing thicker every moment,
blanehed faces Of rough looking for
eigners could be seen darting hither
and thither, jabbering excitedly with
ugly grimaces and clenching their
fists as they talked to one another.
The police would permit no lettering
and therefore the crowd kept marching
up and down discussing the all-absorb-
ing topic.
JUDGE GARRY's CALM RUFFLED.
Judge Garry, who presided at the
trial of the Anarchists, was surprised
put of his usual calm reserve when the
news of the decision reached him on
the bench, where he was hearing an
other case. When assured that the
report was true, he said: 'Well, all l
have got to say is that the verdict is
Just one"
WHAT EDITOR BUCHANAN SAYS.
Joseph r. Buchanan, the Socialist
editor, who has charge of the An
achist defense fund, said that should
Jhe State Supreme Court
refuse to grant an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court, Sbr not
pass on the matter in time to have
their decision act as supersedeas be-
fore the date set for the execution of
the sentence, application will be made
to Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court for supersedeas. If these
processes fail an appeal for executive
clemency will be made. The petition
will be presented to Governor Oglesby.
NO MEETINGS TO BE PERMITTED.
Mayor Roche this afternoon said
that the police had been directed to
permit no meeting of Anarchists, and
allow no incendiarY speeches to be
N ade.
FOSTERS OPINION.
w. A. Foster, one of the lawyers fol
bIlO uOLOuoO dO CAlo lIilo u OIlo IIIdl,
said this evening that notwithstanding
5he talk of an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, the only hope
now was in the mercy of Governor
OgleSDy. Mr.. Foster claimed to have
no doubt whatever that the sentence
Of four of the seven would be COM
muted.
Upon what do you base that opin-
lOn?' was asked.
II have reasons for believing that
the officers representing the prOsecu-
such results. i have not only my Opin-
ion, but have their word for it.''
(which of the Anarchists will have
their sentences committed, if any?''
II do not believe that Fielden, Mich
ael Schwab or A. r. Parsons will ever
be hanged, and very much doubt
Adolph Fischer will. AS to the
others, at present, l must confess it
looks pretty blue"
JUDGE MAGRUDER's OPINION.
OTTAWA, H., Sept. 14.-After re-
at length the facts in connec-
ton with the Haymarket riot, the fatal
bomb throwing and the findings of the
lower court, Judge Magruder, in his
opinion, says:
1t is undisputed that the bomb was
thrown and that it caused the death of
Degan. 1t is conceded that none of
the convicted threw the bomb with his
own hands. The plaintiffs in error are
with being accessories to the
fact. Some of the counts charge that
the eight defendants above named,
being present, aided, abetted and as
sisted in the throwing of the bomb;
others, that not being present, aiding,
abetting or assisting, they advised,
aided and abetted such
throwing. The Illinois statute on this
is as follows:
Chapter IS, division 2, sections 2 and
8: Section Am accessory is he
who stands by and aids, abets or as
sists, or who, not being present, aiding,
abetting or assisting has advised, en-
aided or abetted the perpe-
tration of the crime. He who thus
aids, abets or assists, advises, encour-
ages, shall be considered as a principal
and punished accordingly.
Section 3.-Every such accessory,
when crime is committed without this
state by aid or procurement in this
state may be indicted and convicted at
the same time as the principal or before
his conviction and whether the princi-
pal is convicted or amenable to justice
